'Talent. You've either got it or you haven't'. Not true, actually. This book draws on research to reveal that, far from being some abstract mystical power fixed at birth, ability really can be created and nurtured. It explains what is really going on when apparently unremarkable people suddenly make a major leap forward.

"Jeg fik anvist et værelse, der vendte ud mod parkeringspladsen; Lance fik sit eget værelse ved siden af. Læg dig på sengen, rul ærmet op, ræk mig armen. Slap af. Dr. Moral anbragte en tom blodtransfusionspose på et hvidt håndklæde på gulvet nær sengen og vaskede indersiden af mit albueled med en klud fugtet med sprit. Så kom nålen frem. Jeg havde set nåle mange gange, men denne nål var gigantisk. Den var forbundet med en sprøjte, som igen stod i forbindelse med en gennemsigtig slange, der førte ned til den tomme pose. På slangen sad et lille gevind, så man kunne styre blodstrømmen. Jeg kiggede bort og mærkede nålen trænge ind. Da jeg vendte hovedet, kunne jeg se, hvordan blodet i en jævn strøm løb ned i posen på gulvet. Det tog et sted mellem femten og tyve minutter at fylde poserne. Poserne svulmede, indtil vægten viste, at de var klar: 500 milliliter. Derpå blev nålen trukket ud. Et stykke vat blev presset mod armen. Poserne blev lukket og udstyret med navn og label, hvorpå de blev lagt i den blå køleboks. Dr. Moral og Pepe tog af sted. De sagde ikke, hvor de skulle hen, men vi regnede med, at de skulle over på klinikken i Valencia, hvor poserne blev opbevaret, indtil vi skulle bruge dem tre uger senere under Touren.”

We all want to flourish. We want to create harmony, well-being and joy in our lives and those around us. The question is, how?Daniel Coyle has spent the last six years researching and visiting 'holistic hotbeds': groups, teams, businesses, and communities which have, accidentally or on purpose, created deep, thriving relationships that generate high levels of shared success and well-being. From a small town in Vermont that has produced 11 Olympians over the past 40 years - where most of the Olympians return to live and work after their athletic careers are over - to a Michigan deli that accidentally grew into a $70 million business. And from a grassroots organization in an impoverished Kenyan settlement that has produced Ivy League students, to a successful multi-billion dollar company that functions like an extended family.Coyle discovered that all these groups flourish using three skills, which form the three parts of this book. In Skill 1 - The Surrendering - we'll learn about our brain's holistic-awareness system and how to use it to create connection and belonging. In Skill 2 - The Unleashing - we'll learn how creating small instabilities can ignite energy, ownership, and self-organizing action toward a shared horizon. In Skill 3 - The Deep Fun - we'll learn how audacious experiments can generate new versions of yourself and your group.The overarching idea is that flourishing is created by a matrix of quiet but powerful group interactions that create interdependence, energy and growth. Flourishing isn't a puzzle you solve alone; it's a set of living relationships that generate the shared capability to shape your future, together.

This dissertation consists of a philological and philosophical exploration of the Guiguzi. It establishes the sinological background of the text through a detailed contextual study and locates Master Guigu in the Chinese intellectual tradition. Guiguzi is the legendary transmitter of the Sunzi bingfa (the Sun-tzu "Art of War") tradition, he is said to have bestowed his text upon Sun Bin. The research reveals that the Book of Master Guigu conceives a comprehensive "art of persuasion" by promoting an unassuaging efficacy within an early Daoist cosmological framework.

¿Por qué ciertos grupos ofrecen más que la suma de sus partes mientras que otros ofrecen menos?LAS CLAVES DE LA CULTURA DE EQUIPO, AL ALCANCE DE TODOS.La cultura de grupo es una de las mayores fuerzas que existen. Podemos percibir su presencia en los negocios de éxito, en los equipos que lideran los campeonatos y en las familias más prósperas, y enseguida notamos cuándo falta y cuándo se ha vuelto tóxica. Todos queremos implantar una cultura fuerte en nuestras respectivas organizaciones, comunidades y familias. Sabemos que funciona, pero no sabemos con exactitud cómo.Solemos considerarla un rasgo grupal, como el ADN. Las culturas sólidas y bien fundamentadas como las de Google, Disney o los SEAL de la Armada estadounidense parecen tan singulares y características que podrían calificarse de inamovibles, como si de alguna manera estuvieran predestinadas a ser así. De acuerdo a este razonamiento, unos grupos son agraciados con una cultura sólida y otros no.Este libro adopta una perspectiva distinta. Tras investigar los grupos de mayor éxito del mundo, Daniel Coyle llegó a la conclusión de que sus respectivas culturas nacían de un conjunto específico de habilidades que aprovechan el potencial de nuestro cerebro social.La habilidad 1, «Labrar la seguridad», profundiza en cómo las señales de vinculación establecen lazos de pertenencia y de identidad.La habilidad 2, «Comparte la vulnerabilidad», explica cómo el hábito de afrontar riesgos comunes propicia la cooperación basada en la confianza.Y la habilidad 3, «Define un propósito», detalla cómo las narraciones implantan objetivos y valores comunes.Con extraordinaria amenidad, este libro explora cómo funciona cada una de estas tres habilidades y da a conocer las experiencias de los grupos y los líderes que emplean estos métodos a diario en un mundo siempre cambiante. Aunque pueda parecer que una cultura de éxito se consigue por arte de magia, no es así. La cultura es un conjunto de relaciones vivas con un objetivo común. No es algo que seas, sino algo que haces.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe New York Times bestselling author of The Talent Code unlocks the secrets of highly successful groups and provides tomorrow's leaders with the tools to build a cohesive, motivated culture.Where does great culture come from? How do you build and sustain it in your group, or strengthen a culture that needs fixing?In The Culture Code, Daniel Coyle goes inside some of the world's most successful organizations-including the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six, IDEO, and the San Antonio Spurs-and reveals what makes them tick. He demystifies the culture-building process by identifying three key skills that generate cohesion and cooperation, and explains how diverse groups learn to function with a single mind. Drawing on examples that range from Internet retailer Zappos to the comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade to a daring gang of jewel thieves, Coyle offers specific strategies that trigger learning, spark collaboration, build trust, and drive positive change. Coyle unearths helpful stories of failure that illustrate what not to do, troubleshoots common pitfalls, and shares advice about reforming a toxic culture. Combining leading-edge science, on-the-ground insights from world-class leaders, and practical ideas for action, The Culture Code offers a roadmap for creating an environment where innovation flourishes, problems get solved, and expectations are exceeded.Culture is not something you are-it's something you do. The Culture Code puts the power in your hands. No matter the size of your group or your goal, this book can teach you the principles of cultural chemistry that transform individuals into teams that can accomplish amazing things together.Advance praise for The Culture Code:"I've been waiting years for someone to write this book-I've built it up in my mind into something extraordinary. But it is even better than I imagined. Daniel Coyle has produced a truly brilliant, mesmerizing read that demystifies the magic of great groups. It blows all other books on culture right out of the water."-Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Option B, Originals, and Give and Take"If you want to understand how successful groups work-the signals they transmit, the language they speak, the cues that foster creativity-you won't find a more essential guide than The Culture Code."-Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better
